Handy Tables From Thurston's Steam-Engine Manual - For Use In Laboratory Computations In Technical Schools

Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original artwork and text.
